​Man Sues Tinder Date After She Allegedly Threatened to Blackmail Him

If you're the type of person who doesn’t stick around to watch the credits—even with all those teasers they’re putting at the end of them these days to get you to stay—you may not know who Derek Connolly is. But his résumé is impressive, as he has screenwriting nods for Jurassic World andKong: Skull Island, and upcoming blockbusters like Star Wars: Episode IX and Jurassic World 2.

We're not here to talk about his commendable career, though. Rather, Connolly is having some drama in his real life that sounds like it’d make a decent movie someday (if only there was somebody out there who could bring it to the big screen). He's currently in the process of suing a woman named Ada Hui, whom he met on Tinder in May 2016, and of whom he says he had a bad break-up with last month.

Connolly says that Hui has stalked him and invaded his privacy, while also accusing her of posting copies of their private text message exchanges onto Instagram. Connolly further alleges that she hinted that he could be harmed, and also that she threatened his career. For you Entourage fans out there, Hui reportedly told him that Connolly should return her belongings, or face what she called an “Entourage S7 E7,” which is an episode titled “Tequila and Coke." In it, agent Ari Gold is blackmailed.

TMZ states that she threatened to “gut” Connolly’s identity, and that she told him “[He] won’t see it coming,” and it would hit him like “a ton of bricks." Connolly’s lawsuit is for invasion of privacy and stalking. He’s also asking that a judge order her to stop.
